The crofting township and field system of South Galston is depicted on the current edition of the OS 1:10000 map (1974), but is not shown on the 1st edition of the OS 6-inch map (Island of Lewis, Ross-shire 1853, sheet 2) which shows only a cluster of five roofed buildings set around a courtyard, annotated as Galston Farm House, and a system of fields. It overlies the earlier township of Ath Cheapach (NB45NW 59).
